Arqueologia ao Sul
Uma vez mais vimos anunciar mais uma Conferência Arqueologia ao Sul,
organizada pelo NAP - Núcleo de Arqueologia e Paleoecologia da
universidade do Algarve.
Desta feita a comunicação vai ser proferida por Lizzie Wright, que se
encontra a fazer o seu Doutoramento na Universidade de Sheffield. A conferência realizar-se-à, pelas 16h00 do dia 5 de Março, no
edificio 1 (FCHS) da Universidade do Algarve, Campusa de Gambelas, ma
sala 2.35.
The European Aurochs: an archaeological investigation of its evolution, morphological variability and response to human exploitation Throughout European prehistory (and beyond), the aurochs (Bos primigenius) was an extremely important animal to humans. Not only was it frequently hunted, but it is also generally agreed to be the wild ancestor of domesticated cattle (Bos taurus). Despite the importance of the aurochs, we have little idea of the range of its morphological variation, as work in this area has been patchy. Extensive morphometric studies of other important wild species in European prehistory, such as reindeer and wild boar, has shown variation that could be linked to climatic, environmental, and geographic factors, as well as patterns of human exploitation. This talk will introduce my PhD project, which aims to provide a wide-ranging study of aurochs variation across Europe from the Upper Pleistocene until its extinction. It is hoped that this research will not only provide a picture of change in response to factors such as climate change and geographical isolation, but will also aid the identification of wild and domestic cattle, and therefore will be of benefit to studies looking at the origins of cattle domestication.
A “idade da iluminação” acabou?
Investigador publica carta na Science sobre estado da ciência em Portugal
Há dez anos, a revista Science publicou um artigo sobre a situação da ciência em Portugal, onde o investigador Richard Stone elogiava o progresso do país ao nível científico e aclamava a chegada de uma “idade da iluminação” na viragem do milénio. “Usando-o como mote”, Nuno Correia Santos, do Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, decidiu escrever uma carta em que dá uma imagem da evolução da ciência em Portugal “desde uma situação de quase ausência de investigação científica, passando pelas grandes melhorias das últimas décadas e culminando na situação actual, com todas as suas incertezas”.

Luminescence in Archaeology International Symposium
The Second Luminescence in Archaeology International Symposium will be hosted by the Group of Applied Geochemistry and Luminescence on Cultural Heritage, of the Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear, in Lisbon, Portugal, from the 5th to the 7th of September, 2012.
Presentations are invited to focus on contextual, methodological or phenomenological aspects of luminescence studies in archaeology and cultural heritage.
The L.A.I.S.2012 organizers would be grateful if you would communicate this announcement to your colleagues and students studying luminescence phenomena in archaeological and cultural heritage materials, or applying luminescence data to archaeological and cultural heritage problems.
